Your mission
- As a Data Scientist Intern, you will contribute to advancing Pigment’s use of Large Language Models (LLMs) by helping us explore how open-source alternatives can complement or replace commercial APIs. You’ll work closely with our AI engineering and data science teams to design, fine-tune, and evaluate models that improve both efficiency and performance across our product.
- Project Overview:
- Exploring Fine-Tuned Open-Source Alternatives to Commercial LLMs
- This project investigates replacing select calls to commercial large language models with fine-tuned open-source alternatives. The goal is to develop localized models that deliver similar or improved performance while reducing latency and cost.
- As an intern, you will:
- Experiment with fine-tuning techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, and other Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods.
- Benchmark model performance, accuracy, and inference latency across a range of tasks.
- Identify and document trade-offs between accuracy, speed, and cost for different fine-tuning and deployment strategies.
- Contribute to the development of a scalable, cost-effective foundation for custom LLM deployment to complement Pigment’s current stack.
- Collaborate with engineers and data scientists to design robust evaluation pipelines and share findings internally.
- You’ll gain hands-on experience in modern LLM fine-tuning, LangChain-based orchestration, and MLOps for model deployment, contributing to research with a direct impact on how AI is embedded into Pigment’s platform.
Technical stack
- Our current AI and engineering stack includes:
- Languages & Frameworks: Python, LangGraph
- Data & ML Infrastructure: Weights & Biases, Hugging Face Hub, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Docker, Kubernetes
- Databases: PostgreSQL
- CI/CD & Experimentation: CircleCI, MLflow, and internal orchestration tools
- We don’t expect you to know them all. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly, experiment rigorously, and translate data insights into actionable results.

What We Do
In a world moving at an incredibly fast pace, businesses have grown accustomed to change. Transforming their business model, pivoting their strategy, rethinking their go-to-market, the list goes on.
To enable these changes, they have also had to rethink the way they work.
Breaking down silos isn’t a best practice anymore. It’s a given.
And yet, when it comes to planning, little has changed. In fact, planning tools work the exact opposite way, reinforcing data and people silos, and preventing teams from working together toward their common goals.
As a result, planning is usually seen as a dreadful process.
But the truth is, planning drives strategy. It’s high time we serve it with the right tools.
Pigment is the business planning platform for fast-growing companies. Our mission is to help companies make better, faster decisions in a changing world, and drive revenue growth.
At Pigment we believe that:
✅ Real-time data informs better outcomes. Trim your sail, and make the best use of current winds.
✅ Reporting should be accurate, quick, and insightful.
✅ Planning should be simple, smooth, and delightful.
✅ Less time should be spent on data crunching, more time on bringing insights to the business.
✅ Collaboration should be at the heart of any planning process, so your organization works as one.
